What happens to you when you have Non Hodgkin lymphoma cancer? Are there any chance?

I lost my husband to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma last year. As you know it attacks the whole immune system. Tumors will grow through out ones system.
It is treatable but not Curable..
Life span is 5-6 years or so they say. A lot of treatments out there and new ones every day.Remember to keep the faith alive.
In our case it was chemotherapy over the years though sometimes radiation is also used. Different types of chemo . It all depends on what stage you are in and whether it's aggressive or non-aggressive.
The idea is to shrink the tumors. Your Doctor will only tell you as much as you want to know. I think it's the patient choice. My husband wanted to know all he could.
My husband had been told 4months and lasted 6 years. Our family Dr. told us when a Dr. gives a time it usually means they have no idea.
I believe cancer affects the whole family not just the one who has it . If you are the caregiver always remember to make time for you . Hodgkin's is curable non-Hodgkin's No.People can get these two mixed up.The NON fools one, did me until it was explained.
We were very lucky to have a Dr. who specialized in Non-Hodgkin lymphoid.
I wish you all the luck as you embark on this difficult journey.

Yes! NHL is cureable, but it is a long hard road. Good luck to whomever has it.

of course there is...especially when it's caught early.
